Hi Kostas, I think there is one open question that is not answered in this tutorial:

The list of 777 also contains folders, for example admin/xml/

So do we have to recurse anything there or not? If so, it should be in the tutorial, if not, I can't see the point in making a folder alone  ' write enabled'  if you're not planning on changing the folders name anyway? Or does a folder have to be 777 in order to be able to write into a 777 file that is in there?

Thanks for your help

Marcel

Hello Marcel,

Thank you for pointing our attention to this! I will request to make another tutorial, more accurate. I'm afraid, it may take some time, but anyway, we really need to update this lesson.

Best regards,

Kostas

Hi there Dorukhan,

I am just another user but I think your problem could be the settings in the FTP client that you use to upload your files. I use Filezilla (http://filezilla-project.org/)  , please make sure you check the binary mode in the edit/settings menu before you upload your files:

 

 

Goodluck!

Hello

Thank you Marcel for you help. You're right. That error means that some files were uploaded to your server in text mode. Here is link where you can watch video tutorial on how to set transfer mode for binary http://support.cms-guide.com/entries/20771617-binary-mode

Best regards,

Hi, i also use FileZilla (MacOSX 3.5.3). I wonder if the two functions in

the setup window "Treat files without extensions as ASCII file" AND

"Treat dotfiles as ASCII files" are any important. As i have mentioned

in the Binary tutorial section ..these functions are on by default and

when binary transfer is activated, the .htaccess file will stay in ASCII.

(that seems to be the case in Filzilla PC and Mac, check the picture)

Hello,

The only important setting is "binary". The rest - will not influence on anything, so please just forget about other settings.

Best regards,

Kostas
